So we have to admit to everyone here: we love Brussels sprouts more than anything on Thanksgiving EXCEPT maybe the stuffing. We make them every year, and we have a favorite way of preparing them. A few years ago, we discovered …

Now that November is finally here, Jennie and I can let our enthusiasm for Thanksgiving run free. This year, we are not contented to refer to our favorite holiday all month long and then follow it up with our usual …

Hi folks, we had planned to bring you a lengthy, detailed post all about how we made these scrumptious and delightful Halloween zombie cupcakes. And we’d love to answer all of your questions in the comments, but here’s the thing. …

I am notoriously bad at eating breakfast. I know, I know! It’s the most important meal of the day. I just never have time for it, since I’m not what you’d call a morning person. When I do remember to …

Since we made our own pumpkin puree a couple weeks ago, I’ve been itching to make another fall treat. Ironically, it was a buzzfeed article mocking the internet’s obsession with mason jars that inspired this recipe. Sorry, buzzfeed. I just …

Ladies and gentlemen, it has been far too hot in Los Angeles the last few weeks to even consider turning on your oven. Or stand over a hot stove, for that matter. Enter, the slow-cooker. The answer to all our …

Corelyn Coates moved to Los Angeles in 2008 and found culinary love in the endless supplies of avocados, citrus, and basically any produce you could ever need. In 2009, she and Jennie decided to start a blog to follow their antics in the kitchen.

Corelyn grew up in Tennessee and Virginia, and her southern upbringing keeps barbecue, butter, and liquid smoke, among other ingredients, on the front burner in the GMS kitchens. Her style is add now, think later, and almost always her intuition about a dish is right - in flavor if not in caloric value.

Her food always includes a green, however, and for that healthy eaters will appreciate her style. She will find a way to get you to like any vegetable in her wheelhouse; Brussel sprouts, green beans, squash, or beets.

After a brief return to the East coast, Corelyn lives in sunny Los Angeles once again. She works behind the scenes, managing GMS and contributing from her own kitchen now and then.
